firdt check what offset you have second if your running standard brakes you should be good on a +38 which might required a 5mm spacer but if your running big brakes +32 and yeah front are 20x9

You must have the +38 fronts ! They are def 9.0 all new cv1 have +32 first batch had +38 wich hit caliper and required a 6mm spacer to clear .

You mean the hub centric rings ? You need them to be install so you won't get any vibration issues aftewr having the car wheel/tires balance...

Now Either space them out minimum 6mm or see if they will swap for a +32.
